Low FODMAP certification program launched by Monash University

Spelt grain has lower FODMAPs than
modern wheat cultivars

One in seven Australians suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but a
new app and certification scheme launched by Monash University will help
them find foods they can comfortably eat - and the ancient grain spelt
appears to be part of the solution.

The Monash University Low FODMAP Certification Program
certifies foods that are low in a group of carbohydrates that are
poorly absorbed in the digestive system - Fermentable,
Oligo-saccharides, Di-saccharides, Mono-saccharides And Polyols
(FODMAPs). See:
